KoLA

Knowledge-oriented LLM Assessment benchmark (KoLA), is hosted by Knowledge Engineering Group, Tsinghua University (THU-KEG), which aims at carefully benchmarking the world knowledge of LLMs by undertaking meticulous designs considering data, ability taxonomy and evaluation metric.

[Updated 2023.6.28: Confidential Submission‼️] We have noticed that some developers of large-scale models wish to make confidential submissions. We welcome you to reach out to us via private message or email, and we will support such evaluations under a confidentiality agreement. However, please note that the results of these evaluations will not be publicly showcased in the second season.

KoLA is currently recruiting datasets and participating models for the second season. If you are interested, we warmly welcome you to contact us via email at kola-benchmark@googlegroups.com or join our Slack channel at https://join.slack.com/t/kolabenchamrk/shared_invite/zt-1wognxoox-mAgjGYvjL32ZlG7MH6zVuA. The recruitment will close on July 31st, and the evaluation will commence shortly thereafter, with all results being published and concluded by September 30th.

We are committed to ongoing maintenance of this toolkit and have also established a synchronized Reading List for evaluating large-scale models.

News !!

[2023.6.30] Season 2nd call for data and model before July 31th. We also support confidential submission (for developers) !
[2023.6.13] Our platform is now available at https://kola.xlore.cn/.
[2023.6.7] Our paper has been submitted to Neurips 2023 (Datasets and Benchmarks Track)
[2023.5.31] All the results of Season 1st have been published.

Getting Start

KoLA currently consists of 19 datasets. All the functions are now available on our platform:

By logging in with your GitHub account, you will be able to participate in the evaluation tasks by submitting an API and a custom Config file, i.e.,

Step 0: Download the Sample Data on this Tasks Page
Step 1: Login with your Github account
Step 2: Submit a model API on the Submit Page
Step 3: Revise the submission on the Profile Page
Step 4: Waiting for the result on the Model Page
Step 5: The Standardized Result will also be refreshed on the Leaderboard after the corresponding weekend (Sunday 23:59, UTC+12, anywhere on earth).

It is important to note that the Config file is not mandatory but is provided for your convenience to fine-tune prompts for different tasks. If the Config file is not submitted, the evaluation will still be conducted using the default instructions described in Appendix E of the paper.

Data Acquisition

We provide researchers and developers interested in participating in the evaluation with a one-click data download feature. This downloadable file will be continuously updated, enabling developers to conveniently download sample data and data descriptions for all tasks. For more detailed information, you can visit the Task page on our website and refer to our paper to learn about the specific datasets used and their corresponding instruction examples.

Download the Sample_Data.zip here!

This .zip file includes 5 examples for each established task in KoLA, as well as a detailed Readme file for description.

Evaluation Scripts

We provide a sample evaluation script for each task. The script is used to evaluate the performance of the model on the task. The script will be executed in the following way:

python eval/<dataset_id>_evaluate.py <input_file>  <output_file>

<dataset_id>: the id of the dataset, e.g., 3-4_kqapro.
<input_file>: the inference result of the model, e.g., kqapro_inference.json.
<output_file>: the output score file of the evaluation, e.g., kqapro_evaluation.json.

Result Analysis Tools

To facilitate the reproducibility of the paper's results, we provide tools for each model's absolute performance, as well as a series of operations such as standardization and visualization. These tools can also assist subsequent contributors in obtaining results in advance during the leaderboard waiting period and ensure the fairness of our results.

First, we have put the 21 models' raw evaluation results in analyse/results/. To get standardization scores, run the following command:

python analyse/unify.py

Then, the standardized results will be saved in analyse/dataset_final_scores.csv.

Second, we provide a visualization tool to help you visualize the results. You can run analyse/plot.ipynb to get spearman correlation and scatter plots.
